Gentleman Sinner, an all-new standalone contemporary romance by #1 New York Times bestselling author Jodi Ellen Malpas.
Izzy White knows of the darkness in this world. After all, she escaped it long ago. Determined not to let her past beat her, Izzy has a secure, stable life with a job she loves in nursing. But one act of kindness will completely upend everything she's so carefully built-putting her right back in the crosshairs of danger she's been so desperate to avoid.
When Theo Kane shows up like a knight in shining armor, Izzy can't help thinking she's been saved from one threat and exposed to another. His imposing physique, the harsh lines of his face, and the wariness of everyone who comes close are just a few clues to Theo Kane's notorious reputation. The man is positively terrifying. But with Izzy, he's tender and a complete gentleman, and her fascination with the mysterious beast of a man becomes too powerful for her to walk away.
As Theo's demons come to light, running becomes even more impossible. And yet staying together could doom them both.

Review:

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

There is one thing you should know about the book. It's darker than I thought it would be. I was expecting your average contemporary romance and this one is not. Also, I think that Theo needs to talk to someone about his life and see a therapist. I understand that he loves Izzie, but she is not the one who is gonna heal him. To be honest, he was a little scary sometimes, but I still liked him. I loved him in the epilogue though. I loved that epilogue period. It was the best part of the book and it fed my epilogue addiction. 

Izzie was a good heroine who didn't take much from Theo and was standing up to him when it was needed. I couldn't help but feel sorry for her when we found out about her past and even though I couldn't relate to her I understood her character more and better. To be in Theo's world takes balls and she has them. 

Theo and Izzie's romance in some ways reminded me of 50 shades of grey which gave me mixed feelings. Overall, I can say though that I liked what these two had. I would have preferred to have them romancing each other a little bit more in order to feel like the feelings had a reason to grow between these two, but I was mostly ok with what we got. 

A couple of secondary characters were very interesting and I wonder if we are going to get their story. The author didn't mention anything, but I hope that at least we will get the story of the couple we were teased about in this one. This book is completely stand-alone though so no worries about anything. 

The Gentleman Sinner was not exactly the book I was expecting, but it was a good experience after all and I was satisfied with the book. It's different from the other books I have read from this author and I am not saying that in a bad way.

Excerpt:
My love for her holds me prisoner
Her faith leaves me in awe
Her hope encourages mine
And her touch reaches my soul
She is my peace
My cure
My love
